Purpose: The objective of the present paper is to evaluate the relationships between intelligent polymer materials and the development of technological entrepreneurship as well as the role of intelligent polymer in sustainable development in Poland. Design/methodology/approach: The research concerned the impact of modern smart materials on the development of technology entrepreneurship in high-tech companies in Mazovia and its importance for increasing the competitiveness of enterprises. The survey research method was used as part of the lustration procedure, characteristic of the so-called nomothetic research approach used for quantitative research in management sciences. Findings: A problem encountered during the research was the fact that it was difficult to pinpoint the number of high-technology (HT) enterprises in the Masovian province, mainly due to the fuzzy border between medium-tech and high-tech organizations. Research limitations/implications: The research results show that advanced technology sector enterprises in the Masovian province acquire new smart materials mainly from external sources, primarily due to possessing limited resources and insufficient competences in this area. Practical implications: Technology entrepreneurship, in connection with the using of design thinking and the concept of sustainable enterprise will able to prepare and commercialize interesting and technology advanced materials which cause that many enterprises, not only high-technology firms, the building of high competitive position on international market. Originality/value: This article shows the importance of smart polymer materials in the development of technology entrepreneurship in high-tech companies in Mazovia.(original abstract)
